You can customize StandBy to show different clock styles, photos, or widgets relevant to the time and place. You can also interact with StandBy using Live Activities, Siri, calls, and notifications, all designed to be easy to see and use from a distance.

It is easy to bring up StandBy anytime by tapping the screen, and on iPhone 14 Pro with the Always-On display, it is always available.
